I am a political activist who has worked and lived in the West Bank of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. This blog chronicles my time in Palestine and also provides news and analysis about Palestine and the situation on the ground in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

"We will
always live by our sword," declared Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, upon his
retirement from the role of Chief of General Staff of the Israel
Occupation Forces, twelve months ago.

Gantz should know. For 38
years a career soldier in the Israeli military, he rose to the IDF's top
job in February 2011. Gantz led two major Israeli military offensives
against the people of Gaza: 'Pillar of Defense' and 'Protective Edge'.
Operation 'Protective Edge' killed 2,200 Palestinians, including 500 children, and left tens of thousands of Gaza residents homeless.
Gantz also headed Operation 'Brother’s Keeper' in the West Bank, which
arrested and detained 800 Palestinians, without charge or trial, and
killed another nine.

Gantz, will be addressing United Israel
Appeal fundraisers in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne. The UIA is an
instrument of Israel's policy of colonial dispossession of the
Palestinians. While half of all Palestinians live in exile, unable to
return to their homeland now under Israeli occupation, the UIA funds
Zionist immigration to Israel, aiding in Israel's policy of colonial
dispossession of the Palestinians.
